SAS EuroBonus Membership Conditions

These membership terms and conditions are applicable to SAS’ EuroBonus program. Members in the EuroBonus program can earn points on purchases and activities offered by SAS and SAS' business partners that entitle the members to receive certain rewards and benefits. Valid from January 15, 2015.

1. MEMBERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP CARDS

1.1 Membership in the EuroBonus program is open to all natural persons. Only one EuroBonus membership account is permitted per person. Persons under the age of 18 years must have their legal guardian’s consent to join the EuroBonus program. The EuroBonus membership and the rights pertaining thereto are personal and for the sole benefit of the member, unless otherwise stated by SAS.

1.2 EuroBonus cards are the property of the issuing card company (SAS or the payment card company).

1.3 The EuroBonus card is personal, only one person per membership number is allowed, and only the member whose name appears on the EuroBonus card is entitled to use it. The EuroBonus card shall be signed and is valid only if the member or legal guardian’s signature is written on the back of the EuroBonus card. The EuroBonus card may be used only until the expiration date stated on the card. Membership is registered in the member’s name, personal e-mail and country stated by the member. “Address c/o” is not permitted and the e-mail address must be personal.

1.4 If the EuroBonus card is lost, stolen or destroyed, SAS EuroBonus is to be contacted. If the EuroBonus card is a combined EuroBonus and payment card, the payment card company must be informed immediately. A EuroBonus replacement card will be issued with the same membership number and expiration date as the original card.

1.5 SAS EuroBonus is to be notified in writing of changes and/or additions to the member’s personal details that are not possible to change/add online. Upon change of name or registering of date of birth, documentation must be attached confirming the information, e.g. copy of valid passport. As soon as the new information has been verified the documentation submitted will be destroyed.

1.6 Ordinary booking rules apply to all members regardless of membership level. Service benefits associated with the membership level apply only to the member personally, unless otherwise stated by SAS.

1.7 SAS reserves the right to terminate the membership in cases which SAS deems constitute misuse. This means that previously earned but unused points and issued EuroBonus tickets/vouchers become null and void. Misuse may consist of unsuitable or disrespectful behavior towards SAS or SAS’ business partners, their employees or passengers, violation of Section 2.8 or any other membership terms and conditions, illegal conduct, or actions that are generally regarded as immoral or unethical.

1.8 Enrolling in the EuroBonus program (online or otherwise), or signing the EuroBonus card confirms that the member/legal guardian accepts the EuroBonus membership terms and conditions. Use of membership number/card constitutes acceptance of the then current membership terms and conditions. For combined EuroBonus and payment cards the rules set by the respective card company also apply.

1.9 The personal login details are the personal responsibility of the member. Legal guardians are responsible for minor members’ personal login details and how/when they are used. Personal statements regarding the account are available only to those who submit the correct personal login details.

1.10 Special rules applying only to Norwegian members under the age of 18 years: The membership must be confirmed no later than 3 months from the member’s 18th birthday. When such confirmation is received these membership terms and conditions will apply to the member directly and no longer to the guardian. If confirmation is not timely received, the member’s EuroBonus account will be closed for earning and using of points as well as for membership communication until confirmation is received. Retroactive registration of points which could have been earned in the period when the membership was closed can take place only as described in Section 2.5 for SAS operated flights. The member confirms the membership by registering the personal EuroBonus membership number on www.sas.no/18aar.

2. EARNING POINTS

2.1 Points can be earned on activities with SAS and SAS’ business partners as agreed by SAS and SAS’ business partners. Points are registered only if the member's EuroBonus number is quoted at the time of purchase/booking /checking in. SAS’ business partners include other companies that SAS from time to time cooperates with and includes airlines, travel companies and other companies that provide discounts and benefits to the EuroBonus members, including but not limited to the possibility to earn and/or use points on the companies’ products and services. SAS’ current business partners are specified on the EuroBonus web site.

2.2 SAS reserves the right to determine if a member earns points or not for prices and activities offered by SAS or SAS' business partners. Irrespective of when the activity was booked, the number of points earned depends on the earning scheme applicable on the date of the activity. The number of points earned varies depending on SAS’ business partner and offer.

2.3 EuroBonus members earn points on applicable flights in accordance with the class originally booked and paid for, regardless of upgrades or downgrades unless otherwise stated. Discount tickets of the type e.g. Industry Discount, Agent Discount, award tickets, standby tickets and charter tickets as well as certain discounts do not entitle members to earn points. If a member purchases a ticket on a flight that is marketed by SAS or Star Alliance but operated by another airline (i.e. code share flight) the operating airline determines if and how many points the member earns for the flight. The booking class on the ticket may differ from the booking class that the operating airline uses to determine points earned. Points cannot be earned for flights operated by an airline that is not participating in the EuroBonus program. SAS is not liable for delays or flights cancelled due to reasons beyond SAS’ control, .e.g. acts or omissions by SAS’ business partners, SAS’ business partner’s bankruptcy, weather etc. Special rules apply to points earned through extraordinary circumstances, provided the activity has been completed.

2.4 Only the member personally can earn points regardless of who paid for the travel or activity. Infants (age 0-23 months) earn points only when holding an own paid seat. For charter tickets and activities with SAS or SAS’ business partners, other rules may apply if stated by SAS.

2.5 Travel and activities that took place more than six months ago cannot be retroactively registered, unless otherwise stated. New members can register points retroactively for travel or activities that took place up to 30 days before the membership commenced. Retroactive registration can take place only when accompanied by valid documentation requested by SAS and/or SAS business partners. Valid documentation for flights is copy of flight ticket or travel itinerary. Ticket number, flight number, booking class, date to-from and ticketed name must be visible. Documentation sent to SAS will, after the case has been closed, be stored for a maximum period of one month and will then be destroyed. Members are only entitled to points for which they have performed a valid activity. SAS may at any time withdraw points for any activity wrongly registered on the member’s EuroBonus account.

2.6 Points and benefits are personal and can under no circumstances be sold, transferred, combined, inherited, refunded in cash or used for other purposes than within the EuroBonus program unless otherwise stated by SAS. In case of misuse, points, benefits and documents can be confiscated. Passengers can be refused access to the plane or hotel. If a trip has commenced, the passenger can be charged full price for the remainder of the trip. Exception: Members with registered home address in Denmark may request cash refund of own points according to the Danish Act on Payment Services and Electronic Money (Payment Act). SAS will charge a fee, currently DKK 100, per cash refund. The conversion rate is set by SAS and may vary from time to time and is available upon request. Such cash refund requires written request to SAS EuroBonus, P. Box 150, 2770 Kastrup, Denmark. SAS’ liability in case of loss or misuse of EuroBonus points belonging to members with registered home address in Denmark is governed by §§61-62 in the Payment Act.

2.7 Members can use their points and take advantage of offers/benefits as soon as they have sufficient valid points in their EuroBonus account, provided that at least one (1) point-qualifying activity is performed in addition to welcome/introduction bonuses. Points are valid for an additional four years after the qualification period during which they were earned. After this deadline, the points become null and void.

2.8 Members who belong to several different bonus programs can collect points and service benefits only with one program for each leg of a flight, hotel stay, car rental or other activity, unless otherwise stated. When the points are registered, they cannot be transferred to another program.

2.9 During a hotel stay, points can be earned only for one room by one person at one time.

2.10 Combined EuroBonus and payment card must be used for payment in order to earn points for purchases through the card.

2.11 The member does not earn points for tickets, and services bought, but not used, and/or for products that have been refunded.

2.12 If a member does not earn any points for 24 months, SAS has the right to terminate the membership provided the member has no valid, usable points in his/her EuroBonus account.

3. USING POINTS

3.1 Unless otherwise stated by SAS, points and benefits can be used only by the member personally or his/her closest family.

3.2 Members/legal guardians must ensure that personal login details are not used illegally. SAS is not liable for any consequences of illegal use of personal login details. Members/legal guardians are liable for any use of the points and benefits whether the member or another person is using them. Misuse is defined in Section 1.7. Tickets and documents are sent only to the member’s registered address/email address.

3.3 The number of offers is limited and can be used provided availability. Seats, rooms, cars etc. can be available for regular purchase even though not available for points/as special offer. Some services/products and/or service benefits do not apply to trips paid wholly or partly with points.

3.4 Points cannot be used in combination with cash, discount offers, coupons or other special offers, unless otherwise stated by SAS. In case of rebooking and/or cancellation, only valid points are transferred back to the EuroBonus member’s account (expired points cannot be reused) keeping their original expiry date.

3.5 Only bookings made online can be cancelled online. Valid tickets/documents for cancelled offers must be returned to SAS to obtain a refund. When booking or making changes to offers, the member/legal guardian must take into account the opening hours of SAS EuroBonus and/or SAS’ business partners and/or allow time for enabling delivery of the documents/items. Documents that are stolen or lost before the trip or before the offer should be used, are replaced if possible. Charges and fees may apply.

3.6 Points can be used as payment for tickets/vouchers issued only by SAS and in some cases by SAS' business partners. Points can be used to purchase a Regular ticket wholly or partly or to purchase a EuroBonus award ticket. Different rules apply for Regular tickets and EuroBonus award tickets as described in Section 3.7 below. Travel agencies are not entitled to issue tickets/vouchers or similar in exchange for points.

3.7 Unless otherwise stated by SAS: For a Regular ticket, paid wholly or partly with points, the rules for the Regular ticket apply as described in the fare rules provided when booking the Regular ticket. The rules for EuroBonus award tickets are described below. For EuroBonus award tickets and offers the following applies: - Special rules regarding the minimum duration of a stopover may apply. - Maximum ticket validity and advance booking is 330 calendar days. - If the departure and return destination are not the same, the number of points is calculated on the destination in the point table that requires most points. - Points cannot be transferred back after an activity has commenced, and a return trip cannot be rebooked or refunded. - Tickets and offers can be cancelled up to one (1) business day before they should have been used and valid points transferred back to the paying members EuroBonus account. - Rebooking of tickets and offers are, provided the points are still valid, allowed up to one (1) business day before the offer in question must be used (expired points cannot be reused). - If less than one (1) business day before the EuroBonus trip, or arrival at the hotel, the points are not transferred back to the paying member’s EuroBonus account in case of cancellation. - If a member or other person using the member’s points falls ill less than one (1) business day before a EuroBonus trip, a doctor’s certificate is required for rebooking or for a new ticket/voucher to be issued. This applies provided the points are valid. Expired points cannot be reused. In case of changes or if new documents are required SAS EuroBonus must be contacted.

3.8 In some countries special rules apply for the taxation of benefits within the framework of bonus programs. These rules are defined by the legislators and apply to bonus programs in general in all airlines, hotel chains, etc. Questions on this issue should be addressed to the national tax authorities. SAS accepts no liability for the individual member's tax obligations in connection with the EuroBonus program. Members intending to earn points for activities paid for by their employer must, in some countries, notify their employer of this in advance. Points earned through business travel cannot be used for private purposes without the employer´s permission. Please note that according to Swedish and Norwegian law, state employees may not make private use of points for flight travel, hotel stays, car rental or other activities that are paid for by their employer. In principle, the same rules apply to Swedish and Norwegian public-sector employees.
